Children in Need Day is the annual fundraising event organized by BBC Children in Need, typically held on the third Friday in November. For 2025, that date falls on Friday, November 14, 2025. The main televised appeal night is traditionally broadcast on BBC One and available on iPlayer that evening, with surrounding activities and fundraising taking place across the UK in schools, workplaces, and communities. If you’re planning to participate, you can tune in to the broadcast or check local charity events and school fundraisers that accompany the national appeal.
